Regenerative practices increase crop yield stability in the Upper US Midwest
Abstract Combining regenerative agriculture (RA) practices, such as cover cropping and no‐till, is increasingly promoted as a strategy to enhance soil health and climate resilience. However, their long‐term impacts on crop yield and yield stability remain uncertain.

Abstract Soil structure and soil organic carbon are key variables for the sustainability of agricultural production in tropical environments, yet their interactions with crop yield remain difficult to quantify. The objective of this study was to propose and evaluate the agricultural productivity and soil and water conservation index (APSWCI) as a tool ...

Intercropping of forage grasses and legumes can increase forage productivity and nutritive value; however, intercropping of corn with warm-season forages has not yet been studied in southeast U.S., thus requiring more information.

Summer legumes following winter wheat boost soil nitrogen availability and corn yield
Abstract Efficient nitrogen (N) management is critical for improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and sustaining corn (Zea mays L.) yields. We evaluated summer cover crops planted after winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to quantify biomass, N content, soil N dynamics, and subsequent corn performance under rainfed conditions in eastern Nebraska ...

Agronomic performance of maize and cover crops using composted sewage sludge to supply phosphorus
Abstract The application of composted sewage sludge (CSS) in crop production offers a sustainable solution for nutrient recycling and reducing reliance on mineral fertilizers. This study evaluated the residual effects of CSS on phosphorus (P) bioavailability and agronomic performance of maize and cover crops in P‐fixing soils of the Brazilian Savannah (

Abstract Tree thinning is a common practice in silvopastoral systems, but there is no standard percentage of thinning used by farmers. Moreover, it is unclear how the percentage of thinning affects soil chemical attributes throughout the soil profile and throughout the transect between eucalyptus lines.

Cover crops and straw management on yield components of crambe
The objective of this study was to evaluate the dry matter (DM) yield and nutrient accumulation in cover crops and the effect of these, as well as mechanical management of crop residues on growth and grain yield of crambe (Crambe abyssinica).
